Cordon sanitaire (politics)

In politics, cordon sanitaire (French: [kɔʁdɔ̃ sanitɛːʁ]; lit.'sanitary cordon') is the refusal of one or more political parties to cooperate with certain other political parties. Often this is because the targeted party has strategies or an ideology perceived as unacceptable or extremist. The term cordon sanitaire has been applied to refusals to cooperate with parties which are populist,[1] extremist left[1] or extremist right. The cordon sanitaire can be seen as a social norm.[2]
